•LETTER FROM THE MVPA PRESIDENT: The following letter about the current
MVPA Board of Directors election was released by MVPA President Lee
Holland: (7.20.99)
July 16, 1999
Dear Fellow Members:
Once again it is unfortunate that certain individuals have chosen to
surround the Association's Board of Directors election in controversy. I
can assure you that the Nominating Committee has professionally and
equitably carried out their duties in accordance with the bylaws of the
Association.
You may recall that similar unfounded accusations were made during the last
election process. Your Board of Directors moved swiftly and decisively to
implement Policy 34, Board of Directors Election Procedures (please see
Supply Line Jan/Feb 1999 p.6) to address procedural concerns. To date if
you will review your past issues and your current Supply Line with the
ballot attached, you will find that Policy 34 has been followed to the
letter.
In accordance with our bylaws, I appointed four members of the current
Board of Directors to serve on the Nominating Committee. As prescribed, the
Association Vice President chairs the Nomination Committee. My guidance to
the committee was that all nominations were to receive a thorough
professional evaluation and that all the actions of the committee were to
be documented. The committee developed a ten-question evaluation form to be
used in evaluating each nominee's resume. In addition, the Nominating
Committee Chairman conducted a telephone interview with each of the
nominees.
Each committee member submitted to the chairman a written evaluation of
each nominee. The Nominating Committee also voted on which candidates to
recommend to be placed on the slate for approval by the Board of Directors;
their vote was unanimous. The Board of Directors subsequently approved the
slate of candidates by a 10 to 2 vote.
You have before you an exceptional slate of candidates, and I encourage you
to exercise your right to vote.
YOUR VOTE COUNTS!
Back to the hobby! We face some challenging issues ahead as well as some
new and exciting programs. I will be discussing these items in my next
President's report in Army Motors. Our Association marches on stronger and
better because of your support. I remain available to discuss your concerns
and ideas; I am only a telephone call away.
Serving the membership for the betterment of our Association.
Sincerely,
[signed]
Lee Holland
President
